I’m a pastor, speaker, and author who cares deeply about helping people cultivate a healthy, grounded faith—one that connects what we believe about God with the realities of our emotional and everyday lives. Over the years, I’ve written several books focused on spiritual formation and resilience, and I host the weekly podcast How to Study the Bible, which now reaches listeners in nearly 200 countries.I love teaching Scripture in a way that feels accessible, honest, and deeply rooted in God’s character. Whether I’m speaking at conferences, churches, or retreats, my heart is to help people trust God more fully and live with courage, clarity, and hope right where they are.

I live in Richmond, Virginia with my husband and our three almost-grown kids. I hold degrees from the College of William & Mary and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and I’m grateful for the ongoing work God continues to do—both in me and through me.

I’m really glad you’re here.
